Sunday afternoon didn’t bring much joy to the James family, at least not on the court. LeBron James and the Lakers dropped a gut-wrenching 116–113 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4. But Savannah James still found a way to turn the day around.
Right after the game, Savannah James posted an Instagram Story. She shared a reel promoting Everybody’s Crazy, her podcast with April McDaniel. Her caption said, “Almost forgot this was the whole point.” A small but sharp reminder that reconnecting with their community was always the goal.
Savannah didn’t stop there. She announced Everybody’s Crazy is firing up live call-in sessions again.
“We almost forgot how good it feels to hear you guys call us ,” she wrote. “We cannot wait to be back Everybody Gang! We are taking live calls on tomorrow the 28th and Tuesday the 29th from 4pm-6pm PST — have the crazy ready for the lines.”
The podcast built a loyal following with real, raw, and hilarious conversations. Now, Savannah James and April McDaniel are going back to basics — letting the fans bring the stories and the chaos.
Meanwhile, LeBron James had a rougher time. He dropped 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists but couldn’t drag the Lakers to a win. A tough foul call on him in the fourth quarter helped Minnesota steal the game. The Lakers now trail 3–1 and stare down elimination.
Still, Savannah’s message hit harder than any buzzer-beater. When the scoreboard doesn’t go your way, you lean on your people. You pick up the phone. You bring the crazy back.
LeBron James and the Lakers’ Gritty Game 4 Loss: A Battle in the Paint and Beyond
LeBron James walked into Game 4 with one job: save the Lakers’ season. And man, he tried. Dropped 27 points, grabbed 12 boards, and dished out 8 assists — all while playing through pain like a true warrior. But in the end, the Lakers couldn’t hold on, and the Timberwolves walked away with a 116-113 win. Now, the Lakers are down 3-1 and one game away from packing up for the summer.
This game? It was a grind. LeBron did his thing, but at the end of the day, missed shots, turnovers, and a questionable foul call late in the game were enough for Minnesota to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It’s frustrating, especially when you know your best player is giving everything and the team just can’t execute when it matters. But hey, that’s playoff basketball, right? One minute you’re feeling great, the next… not so much.
JJ Redick rode the Reaves-Doncic-DFS-LeBron-Hachimura lineup for the entire 3rd Q, and they outscored Minnesota 36-23 to flip a 3-point halftime deficit into a 94-84 lead.
LeBron: 27P, 11R, 6A
Doncic: 31P
Hachimura: 20P (10 in 3rd)
Reaves: 11P (11 in 3rd)

LeBron wasn’t shy about the frustration either. “We’ve got to be ready for everything,” he said. “We’ve got to come out fighting. No quit in this team. We’ve got to give it everything we’ve got. One game at a time.” Yeah, you and the rest of L.A., LeBron. Game 5 is now a must-win, and LeBron’s going to need more than just his usual greatness. Austin Reaves — you know, the guy who dropped 17 in the second half of Game 4 — needs to wake up early and drop that fire. And let’s be real, the role players have to step up, too. Can’t be LeBron vs. the world, especially when he’s hurt. Head Coach Darvin Ham hit the nail on the head: “We’ve got to get stops and execute. We’ve been here before.” Yeah, well, it’s time to show that.
Meanwhile, off the court, Savannah James is out here reminding us all how to handle the real pressure — keeping the community vibe alive. After the game, she drops an Instagram story promoting her podcast Everybody’s Crazy, with a caption that’s basically a slap in the face to anyone who thought it was all about the game. “Almost forgot this was the whole point,” she said, keeping it real. And as if she wasn’t already pulling us in, she announced live call-in sessions, bringing the chaos right to the fans. I mean, honestly, when the game’s rough, this is the kind of vibe you need. She’s out here making lemonade when the Lakers are stuck with lemons.
Whether the Lakers pull off a miracle or not, the James family’s staying strong. LeBron’s leadership is going to be tested, no doubt, but with Savannah backing him up — keeping it about family and community — you know they’re not folding under pressure. It’s been a rollercoaster of a season, but when the dust settles, the message is clear: family, community, and that relentless grind. That’s the real win.
